REVIEWS

Wedding Day Makeup: I can not say enough positive things about Evelyn. My family & I have been using her services for a few years now, ranging from my sisters wedding to my engagement party. Trust me - I am a makeup junkie, and I can understand the troubles of finding a professional makeup artist that understands your features and knows what compliments you best. This was my 4th time working with her, but this time it was for my most special day - my wedding. I never did a trial either, just to prove how pleased I was with her previous work. She truly has a talent in this field and carries an array of high end products (and the best fake lashes!). She makes your skin look flawless, and I love the way she does eye shadow! She is genuine and kind, and brought such a positive, upbeat energy to my bridal suite. Not only was she prompt and organized, she was extremely quick yet efficient. She was able to do a total of 11 people, including myself, within 5 hours. All of my girls looked absolutely beautiful, I was truly taken back by how stunning their makeup came out. And let me tell you, this makeup lasts ALL day & night. I am a sweater and it didn't even smudge. Aside from my makeup, Evelyn helped me source my hair stylist for my big day and I couldn't have been happier. She knew who would be best for me and she invested time in helping me find the right person. Evelyn also made the sacrifice to travel to my "destination" wedding in Newport, RI. This just proves how loyal she is to her customers and is willing to go the extra mile (literally) for them! There is nobody else I would have chosen for my wedding day and I will continue to use her in the years to come! I HIGHLY recommend her to any bride looking for that perfect makeup artist! Thank you Evelyn!!!

If you are searching for a makeup artist, give Beyond Beauty by Evelyn Abanto a call. Every bride wants to look her best on her big day and I certainly did and thensome! Evelyn did an amazing job making me look absolutely beautiful on my wedding day! The color selection she helped choose for my shadows and lips were perfect! My makeup was not too much or overdone, it was just right and look great in pics! I honestly can't stop looking at wedding pictures and we are already married for 1 month!
As far as logistics, we had an early morning wedding. Evelyn was at the venue, already set up, before I even arrived. She did makeup for me, my sister, my mother, and mother in law. We all loved how we look and have gotten compliments that included words like "stunning," "gorgeous," and "beautiful." Everything that you would like to be described as on your wedding day!
She offers trials, I recommend doing one and taking a picture so you can mull it over. We all know how many times we tend to change our minds during the planning ;)
5 stars all around for Evelyn! I will definitely use her again for any event that pops up in the future!

Evelyn Abanto is amazingly talented! She was highly recommended to me through a friend and she was also one of the recommended vendors at the Florentine Gardens. She made me look stunning on my wedding day! She was easy to work with, responded quickly to phone calls/emails, was on time on the wedding day, and was a pleasure to work with. On the wedding day, she did the makeup for me, the bridal party and the mother of the bride. We were ready with plenty of time for photos. I am thrilled with how everyone's makeup held up throughout the night. I will recommend her to anyone I know who is looking for a fantastic makeup artist.

Evelyn was AMAZING! She is very well organised and managed to get the entire wedding party ready on time at a morning wedding with a 9am start for pictures. She was early on the day and by the time I arrived at the venue Evelyn and her team were set up and ready to start. The makeup was amazing and lasted all day. Evelyn got the vision perfectly and we were all very pleased with the final result. Evelyn is also very easy to reach and always available to answer questions. She is very experienced and can advise you on what products will work well and look good in pictures and video. Overall 5/5 , great experience. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
